Hi Again..
I have EMC storage arrays, 2 VMAX symmetrix and 1 DMX and another CLARiiON.
I followed the SANscreen document and installed the SMI-S SYMCLI and CLI on the server hosting SANscreen.
Followed the below steps.
1. Installed SMI-S providers of EMC on the SERVER HOSTING SANscreen (as recommended in the install guide); was not easy to get them
2. Could make the initial discovery in the SYMCLI and could list them using EMC_StorageSystem. All CLARiiONs and SYMMETRIX arrays were visible.
3. I created a Data Source, with Vendor as EMC, and last option in model: solutions enabler (CLI) with SMI-S performance.
4. Gave the IP of the SANscreen server (its where the SMI-S is installed)
5. Gave the credentials of the SMI-S provider.
6. Did a force aquisition. and the result failed.
Failed.
ERRORS:
* SI: Failed to exectue external utility
Error retriving data: CLI command
* AI: service insight not yet run; so failing.
Hope somebody can help me on step by step process.
